tmaier Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Well, it's Thanksgiving and I thought I should try some fossil hunting in the backyard, and I came across this specimen. Anybody have a guess what it could be? Is it fossilized? How would I test it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbshark Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It looks modern, is it heavy?looks a little more carmelized than mineralized lol: ) happy turkey day! Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Looks Saurischian, probably a Theropod descendant. Huh, for some reason it makes me feel all predatory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Removal of some of the matrix is... yum, chew, smack... reveling an underlying.. smack, pick teeth, ... bone articulation that I burp, smack, lick lips... have never seen before...

tmaier Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 To test for fossilization, I tapped the bone on a glass of white Zinfandel... It gives the sound of the theme song from the movie "A Christmas Story". Well, that's odd... Wait, let me turn the TV down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
